A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

We feed people with no strings attached. There are a million places where people who qualify can get help. But the guy who is working but he just had to replace his HVAC and has no money left, or maybe the lady whose transmission just went out and she has no money for food but doesn't qualify for assistance - we help a lot of those people too. And we help people who would qualify for government aid, but we still don't ask. We also serve community meals regularly and lots of people come from all income brackets. Most of the wealthier people who come are supporters.

And that's wonderful. But you should all be government employees with access to full benefits. People shouldn't have to worry about proving they qualify for the right to have access to food.

Food, shelter, healthcare, and clean water are human rights that should be guaranteed to anyone regardless of income, citizenship, criminal background, or anything else.
